H&K USP Variants
I've checked out H&K's website and I've always wanted a full-size USP in .45 ACP. However, I hate manual safeties and I'm not all that fond of striker-fired pistols. That's why I've always preferred SIG pistols because they have a de-cocker and they are hammer-fired and not striker-fired.
With that being said, I'm very interested in Variant 3 of the HK USP. I've only seen Variant 1 actually sold. I heard that it was once very easy to convert between the 9 variants at home but is no longer so. The website said that an variant other than Variant 1 requires a special order.
What does a guy have to do in order to get Variant 3 of the USP without jumping through all kinds of special-order hoops?

According the manual for the USP, you need a different detent plate (#214254). It should be a simple change. This link shows how to field strip and detail strip the USP. 0 -
I'm just curious if a special order is really necessary or if any distributors actually keep the other variants in their inventory. 0 -
I have a USP with the cocked hammer safety and the hammer drop (can't remember which variant) left handed and they had it within a week. 0
